Slk seat
Hi. I have just been billed for a 'Valve' for my SLK drivers seat. Part number is MA171 800 16 26
When I asked about it, they could not give me a good answer. Am I having my 'pecker-pulled?'

MBWorld Fanatic!
As noted for you on SLK world, this part is the controller for air scarf.
Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and if you think you'll get screwed you will.
It's not typical Mercedes dealer behaviour.

Thanks for response. I was originally billed for a number of airscarf parts and wiring, plus labour, but when I returned it to have a twisted seat belt rectified, they 'remembered' this extra part that had not been billed originally.... Hmmmmm! My annoyance is that none of these parts were available for inspection and a quoted estimate of £380 parts plus labour, became £960 finally! Its the first large bill on a 6 year old car, but it leaves me feeling a little 'done over'.
